The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Alexandria are: Hyundai Tuscon, Toyota Fortuner, Toyota Landcruiser, Suzuki Jimny, Nissan Pathfinder 4WD, Jeep Wrangler and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Egypt ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Egypt are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
The condition of roads in Egypt leaves much to be desired. If main roads are maintained in a pretty decent condition, driving on secondary roads can become quite a dangerous adventure. Numerous "speed bumps" on secondary roads even worsen the situation - there are no signs that mark their presence.
Local roads are most loaded in the morning and in the evening. If possible, foreign drivers should try to make their rides in the afternoon. Taxi drivers have become another source of serious danger for motorists. Comparing to other drivers, taxi ones are more inclined to breaking the rules and making dangerous maneuvers.
The concept of road markings is also conditional in Egypt. Local drivers can easily move in three rows on a two-lane road. Of course, the distance between cars in that case is minimal.
